    R.I.P.Dino :(

    Sorry Krista - I really miss mine as well - they are cool fish. I replaced mine with a bi-coloured blennie - and he east all the frozen food I send at them. He has a lot of character as well, just a suggestion.

    Salt Mixes.....What are you using????

    Well I just did another 15 gal water change the other day, I can honestly say that my rics are looking really good, I started with 3 now they have spit into about 10.

    Krista - I use fusion krylon on all of my tanks - you can buy it in a can and you can use a small roller to apply it, do not use a sponge roller it doestn't give good coverage. The nice part about using a roller you can do right in your house without all the fumes from a spray can. Good luck.

    Maybe some new colors on your bulbs might change the way you feel about your tank, I think you have T5HO - get a couple Purple + and super blue and like snake said paint the back black might give you some depth

    Need Advice With Lights For a 55G!

    I would try to go with T5HO - the set that FLower has is the same as mine they are Aquatic Life - like Gemmy said you can buy one at a time they bolt together to make a real nice set. I have three of these on my 65 reef - total of 6 bulbs.

    MH Light Question

    I pretty sure it is a 5K bulb, I just put it on the tank and I didn't like the look - I think I am going to go with 6 - T8's. I am going to save the MH for the frag tank I keep talking about. Thanks Corey.
